I am still alive!!!

I'm finally popping in just to let you all know that I am still alive.

At the end of October my computer's powersupply said "good bye". A couple of weeks later I had a beautiful brand new one installed and my baby was up and humming a sweet tune again..... Then my motherboard died 2 weeks later.

I've set up a temporary home on my kid's computer. It feels so strange. Keyboard is different.. monitor is smaller... All my favorite bookmarked sites are no longer bookmarked. etc...

My husband replaced one of the capasitors that was bulging on the motherboard. I'm hoping that will fix the problem. I haven't had a chance to hook everything up yet. All day and most of the day tomorrow I am working on backing up my "life"... I mean my hard drive. I freaked out when I thought I lost everything on it. I have information and pictures on there that are not anywhere else. Since my kid's computer only has a 1.0 USB port I have to have a LOT of patience. 80+ Gigs can take a long time to back up.

I do have some news to share that I will save until I get back on here to post. For those of you who know my news... keep it to yourself until I get the chance to get back on here.

And now.. I say good night. It's about 3:30am and I'm tired.

I figured that you must not be dead, your kids would have mentioned it by now...

Good to know that you are still around. I was beginning to wonder where you might have run off to. I hear police custody is very en vogue right now. At the same time, I'm really one to talk. I haven't updated my blog for a very long time.

She lives! Yes, computers do have a way of reminding us from time to time just who's in charge.
